We have lived at Parkside Estates for 2 years. When we first looked at the place, Linda was…read moreamazing, super quick at responding to questions, and incredibly helpful! She is strict but I feel that it is actually a very refreshing and great thing to have because we knew and felt that the property was kept up well and that we would be heard and taken of very well too. The tenants are her NUMBER ONE PRIORITY! Living here has been great. We have never really had any problems with our unit and any problems we bring to Linda are usually fixed within a 24-hour period. Communication with her is fantastic, and she is always available to listen to our concerns! She is also ALWAYS so warm and fantastic with my 2 kids even when they pester me to visit her office every time we walk past it! She is always willing to put aside time for YOU. If not for the fact that our family is simply getting just too big for the units they offer here, we would probably have continued to stay on. We will truly miss the amazing tenant care and service we have received at Parkside over the last 2 years. We are really going to miss living here. I would HIGHLY recommend this apartment complex to anyone looking for 1 or 2 BR apartments. Prices are very reasonable, staff are amazing, and people are pretty friendly around here too. 5 stars for sure!

Just recently moved ( to sunny Arizona) after a 9 year lease. Overall, a positive experience. Our…read moreunit faced both Grove Avenue and Riverside from the 4th floor; great views of downtown. I think we experienced the usual challenges of downtown rental living, but management was always responsive and professional. Our unit -- and the living spaces throughout -- we're clean and maintained (of course, the maintenance and cleanliness of the tenant space is primatily the tenant's responsibility). Speaking from a nearly ten year perspective, we were very satisfied with Fountain Square. Now that we're back in a single-family home, I miss the conveniences, friendships, and consistency of Fountain Square living -- Amd we miss Elgin.

After driving through I decided to stop in the leasing office to see if I could gather some more information while I was there. When I walked in, nobody greeted me and a woman walked out of the office and right away said "do you have an appointment" to which I replied that I was just stopping by and before I could finish my sentence she abruptly cut me off and told me that no body can help me if I don't have an appointment they are too busy, and then shut the door in my face. Extremely rude and unprofessional, and a huge red flag for the complex itself if these are the people that would be handling my inquiries if I did choose to live there. I will not even be bothering to get any information through the website if I wanted to due to how poorly I was treated for just simply walking through the door

Parking was limited as you are only assigned one spot, but street parking is plentiful as long as you follow the odd/even rule properly. The apartment itself was lovely. We had a one bedroom corner unit. Beautiful wood floors and lots of windows (they didn't open and close very smoothly, but they did their job! We were lucky to have a lovely view of the lovely historic home just across the street, which had a beautifully maintained yard and often featured cats at play. Utilities weren't costly at all. Heat and hot water was included which meant we only paid for AC/electricity. The building manager, Mike was very friendly and highly responsive with every issue we did have. I couldn't speak more highly of him. We had an issue with a couple of our packages being stolen from the front entrance inside of the secured doors. We brought the problem up to him, and he had cameras installed all around the building about a week later! Though we only stayed in Elgin for a year, we couldn't have been more happy with our little home at 401 E Chicago!

They promised that they would have 24 hour support if there was any thing that happened to my apartment or that has broken. Many things were broken on numerous occasions, and I called after hours and they pushed me off until the next day or two days later. We had squirrels, raccoons in our walls in the ceilings for six months. after many emails and attempts to get this fixed, they always would say we are working on it. Please bear with us. We also have gotten our car burglarized by getting our catalytic converter cut off in the middle of the winter. When we first moved there, they said they have security cameras that were watched 24 hours a day, which is a lie. I've gotten police reports and they asked me to talk to the property manager to get license plate detail from the cameras and they say they do not have any cameras there that they would have to watch it 24 hours a day and they will be responsible for any accidents on the property. To replace my catalytic converter cost me over $2000. One of their own workers that work inside the office was stealing rent money for years, roughly about $300,000 --$400,000 and they try to cover it up, By increasing rent that was originally agreed-upon $30 a year to Now $150 a year increase. They never fix anything incorrectly, they just put patch holes. Parking lot has nothing but potholes and cracks in it. Hallways they used to shampoo and clean, now they never do. It smells like wet mold. If I could give this place a zero, I definitely would worse apartments in Bloomingdale......
